Love So Sweet

222 Meet Her Mother

Bai Qi had never been properly introduced to Zhang Li Xue’s mother.

However, he had met her a few times when he was still a child. In his memory, Zhang Li Xue’s mother was such a kind and gentle woman.

The first time he met her mother, it was because he had pulled the little fairy’s hair and caused her to cry.

Her father had a scary look on his face. However, when her mother showed up, he could see that she was a nice lady. Unlike his mother, Zhang Li Xue’s mother had a calm temperament.

After he had apologized for pulling Zhang Li Xue’s hair, her mother gave him a smile before he left with his mother.

When he turned around, he could see the little fairy was being comforted by her mother. At that moment, he was a little jealous of Zhang Li Xue.

Later, he would often see Zhang Li Xue’s mother picking her up from kindergarten. He would only watch them from afar as he was afraid that the elder woman would recognize him and forbid the little fairy from playing with him.

Each time that her mother showed up, Zhang Li Xue would have a bright look on her face.

Now that Bai Qi was going to meet her mother, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried.

.....

Bai Qi was afraid that her mother would remember something that he did in the past.

At this time, Bai Qi was regretting the thing he did when he was younger.

He should be gentle and kind to her, just like how his late grandmother had said.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qi entered the restaurant and followed the server as he led him to the private room. He had deliberately shown up half an hour early so that Zhang Li Xue and her mother did not have to wait for him.

The server poured him a glass of water.

Bai Qi took a sip and thought that the room was a little warmer. He wanted to tug at his collar. However, when he recalled the person he was going to meet, Bai Qi could only stay still.

Every few seconds, Bai Qi would glance at the door as he waited for them to show up. Then, he would check his phone, wondering if his girlfriend had texted him.

After waiting for a while, the phone on the table chimed.

Zhang Li Xue texted him, telling him that she had arrived.

He told her that he was already waiting in the private room and waited anxiously.

Soon, someone knocked on the door.

As the server pushed the door open, Bai Qi stood up immediately and watched as Zhang Li Xue entered the room with her mother.

His heartbeat accelerated.

Bai Qi looked at Zhang Li Xue and saw the smile on her face. Instantly, his heart felt a little calmer.

At the side, Li Qin Yao was silently scrutinizing the man that her daughter has been dating. Based on his look alone, Li Qin Yao thought that he did not seem so bad.

Of course, in her opinion, no one was as handsome as her husband.

As she was looking at Bai Qi, Li Qin Yao soon realized that she had seen him a few times before.

The first time was at Mo Qing Huan’s wedding.

Her daughter had injured her legs and this doctor had helped her.

Later, Zhang Li Xue was hospitalized and this young doctor would come to her daughter’s room a few times to check on her condition.

Li Qin Yao did not expect that her daughter would be dating that doctor.

She recalled the brief interactions and thought that Bai Qi had a good temperament.

“Mommy,” Zhang Li Xue tugged at her mother’s hand. She turned to Bai Qi again and spoke, “Let me introduce you. Mommy, this is Bai Qi. Bai Qi, this is my mother.”

“You’re... Doctor Bai?”

Bai Qi put on the best smile on his face. “Hello, Auntie.”

Li Qin Yao turned to her daughter with an inquiring look in her eyes. There were many questions she wanted to ask, but she was not sure where to start.

“Mommy, let’s sit down first,” Zhang Li Xue said. “We’ll talk as we eat, alright?”

Li Qin Yao nodded.

The server stood beside the table to take their order.

As Bai Qi started to order a few dishes, Li Qin Yao was unable to hide the smile on her face when she heard the boy ordering some chicken wings.

After repeating their order, the server left the room.

There was a brief silence in the room before. Li Qin Yao took a sip from her drink and looked at both her daughter and Bai Qi, “How did the two of you get together?”

In her mind, the two of them should not be having any other interaction after Zhang Li Xue was discharged from the hospital. Then, does it mean that the two of them were secretly meeting after that?

“Mommy, are you surprised?” Zhang Li Xue had a shy smile on her face. “It was a long story.”

“Well, you can tell me slowly. I don’t have anything important today.”

Zhang Li Xue exchanged a glance with Bai Qi. Then, she started to tell her mother their story. She started from the time she was hospitalized, and then how she had met him at her Uncle Qi Zheng’s place. The two of them became closer after a few encounters.

Later, Zhang Li Xue mentioned to her mother how she and Bai Qi had known each other for a long time. They met at her aunt’s wedding and had gone to the same kindergarten.

Li Qin Yao was unable to hide her surprise upon knowing that Bai Q was the same boy who had bullied her daughter during Zhang Yu Ying’s wedding.

It turned out that the boy had grown up to be this tall and handsome.

Bai Qi looked at the elder woman with worry. After all, his reputation was not that good.

Li Qin Yao saw the uneasy look on Bai Qi’s face and could guess what was going on in his mind. “You don’t have to worry. I won’t blame you for something you did while you were a little boy.”

There was an embarrassed look on his face. However, Bai Qi was relieved that Zhang Li Xue’s mother would not blame him for his action when he was young.
